767 Operators in Saudi?

[Ty Webb]

I`ve been told there is a Private B-767-300 operator in Saudi,can anyone tell me who runs this A/C please,thanks.

National Commercial Bank, I believe. Mutt could help out here.

The 767 is based in JED.

They recently had an ad in flight looking for f.o.'s FAA licence required..no conditions mentioned single-status contract..two months in, one out

[mutt]

I think that there are at least 4 of them operated by various companies.

One company was advertising in Flight International 13-19 Mar page 64. You should also be able to find this on the www.totaljobs.com website.

I believe that this one is for MidEast Jets / National Commercial Banks, although the aircraft is based in Jeddah, it spends very little time there.

Thanks guys,does anyone know what the operators are like to work for?

Five nights ago was flying into JFK and heard a N767KS getting his oceanic clearence to Jeddah, might this be one of the corporate 767's? Whats the story on the BBJ operators in the area.

Yep, N767KS is operated by Mid East Jet and is based in JED.

Are you sure about the Saudi Ambassador, I would have thought that he would fly on the A340 which he personally owns!

Mad-dog11,

Thanks for the info.

Re the 777/BBJ, this is the first time that i have heard the word "exchanged" used, i was expecting all 4 of them to show up. The 777 is supposed to be in a mod shop (Hamburg??), as for the BBJ's at least one N737GG was delivered on the 18/03/99. I will check out the others and get back to you.

While i was searching http://www.bird.ch/bharms/boeing/b737nf_0.htm I noticed that there are 3 BBJ's coming to Saudi Oger, it mightnt be a bad time for a certain 727 crew to submit their resumes to them.

Mad-Dog11,

777 and 2 BBJ's are in US Mod shops, last one expected out by Sept. There only appears to be 2 BBJ's and not 3 as i stated.

There are rumours about the 777, but they arent about it going back to Boeing.

Thanks for the info Mutt,

So what news have you heard about the 777? Seems to have been in the mod shop for some time now! Looking forward to those BBJ's! Hopefully they'll perform a hell of a lot better than those Global Expresses of theirs!

Hey Mad Dog and Mutt,

Have a question on this topic you may be able to answer. I met a Saudi Guy while back in NZ who said he was the VP of a sizeable jet charter outfit in Jeddah - they apparently had B 767's and bizjets etc. Do some work for the royal family etc. His name was "Mohammed El-Hinou". Anyone know him or who he works with?

[Mad-Dog11]

Mmmm..... i think u mean Captain Mohammed Al-Hanno. he is Chiefpilot for Mideast Jet. He normally flies N757MA the 757-200.

Alapt,

If you are talking about MEJ, their Globals only arrived a month of so ago, i therefore doubt that you will find anyone to tell you about "actual" flying hours, conditions etc.

Warlock, that "sizeable" fleet consists of 777/767/757/ 2x BBJ's/ 3x Global Express.

hello Mad dog, Unfortunately, this is a secret as even I don't know. Seems to be a "contractor" type of company that is based in Canada. Would like to know anything at all. E-mail me when able.

goodday fellas,
trying to track down prince talal/walleed's
pilot operating b767-3oo,i think based in Riyadh,Saudia Arabia.I used to work for prince Talal back in 1984/85 on B727 based in Riyadh .I would like to go back their one day.I am currently flying B767 in australia.

[alapt]

You are probably right. They are have new talks for a BBJ instead of the last Global. Don't know for sure why though!! What's the BBJ like?
Regards

[Mad-Dog11]

I think that it would be a good idea to take a BBJ instead of the Global. The previous 2 globals have had several tech problems - usually with the engines - which can result in lost charters and $$$$$'s!!!
